Miami and the Keys part 1

As you know we went down to Miami last Wednesday. We had done two days of school and it was time for vacation :-) Honestly, I would have waited to start but one of our coops started while we were gone so we had to make sure we were keeping up and therefore started a little early.

We had some friends who came down to Miami for a couple of days and also stayed with farmor and farfar so it was a full house!! We had a chance to go out on the boat a few times. 

One day we went out to a sand bank outside Miami to just chill. Notice how much David liked to float around in his giant life west!!!

Alex's brother Cory and family are moving back to Miami from Texas so we got to see the cousins and Felicia!! So much fun! Farmor threw an early birthday party for Noah, so much fun!! Noah might have gotten the perfect Lego set from his cousins 😉

After a few days in Miami it was time to go south to our rented cabin in Key Largo. It was such a cute beach cabin and the place had it's own beach. Farmor and farfar came down, too, and stayed with good friends from Miami, just a few minutes from us. We were able to leave our boat parked by their house and use their pool, which we were so grateful for. So perfect!!

Day 1 in the Keys. Little windy and cloudy. Marlee and Rafael got sea sick. Farmor came with us in the morning and kept David in the boat while we were snorkling on French reef. We had planned to go to Grecian reef but couldn't find it... We should have learned the GPS a little better before heading out...🤪

Back for lunch and another nap for David. He stayed on land with farmor and farfar during our afternoon boat tour.

During the afternoon we went to a shallow area next to Rodriguez Key to look for lobsters. We found two but they were way too small to keep. 

Rafael has a fun way to snorkle for lobsters 😂 maybe he trying to look like one!?

Out first day in the Keys were over and we had a delicious taco dinner by our cabin with farmor and farfar. We all fell asleep very early!
